Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of January 31, 2022, for total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) as the Veteran met the schedular criteria for TDIU as of that date.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation starting January 31, 2022.
